What is the best door material?

When it comes to choosing the right door material, homeowners and builders face numerous options, each with its own set of benefits and drawbacks. In this article, we will explore the unique features and advantages of Sing Core doors, comparing them to three other popular types of door materials: solid wood, fiberglass, and steel. By understanding the characteristics of each material, you can make an informed decision that aligns with your specific needs and preferences.

Sing Core Doors

Sing Core doors are a revolutionary choice that combines the best features of other door materials. They are constructed using a patented technology that involves a honeycomb core between layers of quality hardwood. Sing Core doors are known for their exceptional strength, lightweight nature, and resistance to warping, bending, and twisting. Additionally, they offer excellent soundproofing qualities and can be customized to fit any size or style requirement. Whether you’re seeking a residential or commercial door solution, Sing Core doors provide durability, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal.

Solid Wood Doors

Solid wood doors have long been a popular choice due to their timeless beauty and natural warmth. Crafted from a variety of hardwoods, they offer a sense of luxury and elegance to any space. Solid wood doors are durable, can be refinished easily, and have a decent lifespan. However, they tend to be heavier than other materials, making installation and movement more challenging. Additionally, solid wood doors are susceptible to warping or expanding in high-humidity environments. Regular maintenance, including sealing and painting, is necessary to preserve their appearance and longevity.

Fiberglass Doors

Fiberglass doors have gained popularity for their durability and low maintenance requirements. They are resistant to rot, cracking, and warping, making them an excellent choice for areas with extreme weather conditions. Fiberglass doors can be designed to mimic the look of wood, offering a more affordable alternative without compromising on aesthetics. However, compared to Sing Core doors, fiberglass lacks the same level of strength and stability. They may be prone to dents or dings, and their insulating properties are typically lower than those of Sing Core doors.

Steel Doors

Steel doors are renowned for their strength, security, and durability. They provide excellent protection against forced entry and are often used in commercial and high-security settings. Steel doors are resistant to fire, extreme weather, and pests. However, they can be susceptible to dents and scratches, which may require touch-ups or repainting. Steel doors also conduct heat and cold more readily than Sing Core doors, greatly impacting energy efficiency. Moreover, the industrial appearance of steel doors may not be suitable for all architectural styles.

Conclusion

Selecting the right door material involves careful consideration of various factors such as strength, durability, insulation, aesthetics, and maintenance requirements. Sing Core doors offer a unique combination of strength, lightweight construction, and resistance to warping or twisting, as well as boasting numerous optional features such as security, sound proofing, and more. They outshine solid wood doors, fiberglass doors, and steel doors in terms of their overall performance, making them an excellent choice for both residential and commercial applications. However, personal preferences and specific project requirements should always guide the ultimate decision. By weighing the pros and cons of each material, you can confidently choose the ideal door type that meets your needs while enhancing the beauty and functionality of your space.

Sing Core Security Door

Sing Core Security Doors

Your front door is the gateway between your home, family, and belongings, and the outside world. Nowadays, it’s not enough to just protect your home from the elements, your door needs to provide safety and security for you as well. Sing Core’s new Security Door provides the same durable and high quality comforts you’re already familiar with, with added protection against intrusion.

What is a Security Door?

A Security Door is used to provide additional protection and peace of mind over what a standard door can do. Whether used as an exterior door, an interior door, or even a garage door, our Security Door can bring this added safety to your home or business.

Sing Core door panels are already incredibly strong, resilient, and guaranteed to last, and we stand by those qualities. However, intruders are constantly looking for ways to bypass the protection provided by traditional doors. These methods can include using anything from a chainsaw, to a circular saw, to an axe. While we trust in the strength of our standard core, with enough time and strong enough tools, even they can be cut through. With our new Security Door, that changes.

Why Choose a Sing Core Security Door?

Sing Core Security Door Panels come with our patented high-quality honeycomb core and rigid steel reinforcements. The honeycomb core provides insulation, strength, and sound-deadening features, while also remaining incredibly lightweight. By adding the steel reinforcements, we double down on the strength and durability of the panel, making it incredibly difficult to cut or break through. Plus, the door remains impressively light for the quality it provides.

A traditional door can be cut through in less than a minute, and while it would often make a lot of noise, these break-ins are often done when no one is home, meaning you won’t be there to catch them in the act. Cutting through a Sing Core Security Door with the same tools would take substantially longer, and brings other challenges to the intruder, such being much louder, the likelihood of breaking a tool on the unexpected metal reinforcement, and a significantly higher chance of being caught.

In addition, these doors can be used in many cases aside from the standard front door scenario. Businesses with expensive equipment or sensitive documents may want to secure them in a more effective way, and luxury car owners may want a garage door that can’t simply be kicked in or cut through. You could even use Sing Core Security Panels to build a mobile and lightweight cabinet for on-the-go secure storage.

When it comes to your home, security is not an area where “good enough” is all you need. There are many ways you can improve the safety and security of your home, and installing a Sing Core Security Door is one of the most effective options. A break-in happens every 26 seconds in the United States, reaching 2.5 million break-ins every year, with over half being home burglaries. Let’s keep your homes and businesses off of that list.

Core Value of Steel Doors
It is how steel door shapes the future by invention of Sing Core.

See: Steel Door Gallery

Steel door technology has not made any major improvements since the development of EPS core which has higher insulation for replacing the paper core and wood based core used previously. Sing Core uses reinforced EPS or urethane foam to fill the voids of the structural torsion-box-like vertical veneer in those highly insulated Sing products, and… Viola! You have the strength which is approximately 30 times stronger than any other regular door made of foam. Steel doors made of patented Sing Core is the leading edge door technology that provides more insulation, strength and extremely lightweight. The end result is more Eco-friendly door; stronger and lighter weight without using heavy gauge steel but creating an even stronger steel door.

Sing Steel Doors are the only insulated Eco-friendly steel doors that can be guaranteed true flat thanks to patented Sing Core’s torsion box/foam composite base material that not only ensures flatness at the time of manufacture but stays flat for centuries.

Lightweight

You get it all; Huge savings in heavy weight when compared to solid steel while exceeding standards of high-strength and built-in insulation backed by our limited lifetime guarantee at a fraction of the cost. It’s why we say, “Heavy does not mean strong – and light does not mean weak.” Sing Steel Doors weigh much less than other steel doors and do not require heavy steel reinforcement studs to achieve the high strength. Steel doors made Sing Core do not need expensive, heavy duty hardware required by regular heavy steel doors.

High Strength

Compared to solid steel doors, Sing Core is stronger than steel pound for pound. Patented Sing core could reach 1000 PSI strength vs. paper honeycomb core traditionally used in the steel industry and is changing how steel doors are made. Sing steel doors will not dent or kink like regular hollow core, paper core or foam core steel doors.

Economical

Patented Sing Core costs a fraction of high-end honeycomb substrates, like those used in traditional aerospace applications, and still outperforms any of them in lightweight, high-strength, eco-friendly economical solutions bar-none. And that does not even take into consideration the reduction in transportation/installation costs and reduction in maintenance and repair costs over time.

No Welding

Sing Steel Doors are manufactured without welding which reduces labor costs, environmental and health hazards and our patented method will not compromise the integrity of the steel surface of the steel door, like welding does.

Sing Core does not rate doors, although we are fortunate enough to have one of the best sound testing labs in the world, here in the Pacific Northwest. If you require a specific STC rating, Sing Core can build a door to your architectural specifications and have the resulting door tested at our rating facility for an official rating.
